Summary
The subject is determined to students from the first and also second year of master studies at FEI VŠB-TUO Ostrava and it belongs to the basic mathematical subjects of the technical studies at universities. The subject contains introduction to discrete and continuous dynamic systems. There are introduced classical population, economical and infection models together with standard tools for their dynamic analysis.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
To master topics listed below.
Course Contents
Talks:
One-dimensional and two-dimensional population, economical and infection discrete models. General definition of dynamic system and its stability. The system of quadratic functions and its bifurcation diagram. Symbolic dynamics, topological conjugacy, transitivity and sensitivity on initial conditions. Introduction of chaos. Lyapunov exponents.

Difference equations of the first order (continuous logistic model, Poincaré map). Planar continuous linear systems. Phase portraits of the planar systems (classification of dynamic properties). Nonlinear continuous systems (continuous dependence on initial conditions). Equilibria of nonlinear systems (saddles, stability, bifurcation). Closed orbits and limit sets (Poncaré-Bewndrixon Theorem)
